Unfortunately I joined the deer vs Maverick club today while in the way to relatives for thanksgiving. I may have an estimate by Friday so we’ll see how it compares to the original poster. I’m fine but I was doing 70 before hitting the brakes. Deer popped out of the woods and didn’t have time to stop, only slow. A good size buck. No airbag deployment. Less than 3000 miles on the odo….

It’s US30 by Mansfield. I drive rt33 everyday and there’s at least one new dead deer spotted everyday this time of year.

I feel your pain but not with my Maverick. Hit one in 76 with my first new car. Damage then was a little over $800. Ironically, 33 years later I hit another one with my truck coming back from the race track and, yup, the same car was on my trailer! Fortunatley the deer tried to pivot just before hitting the side of the truck and went under the trailer and deceased.
Before and after photos attached.
